During the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, dictatorships in Latin America hastened the outward movement of intellectuals, academics, artists, and political and social activists to other countries. The authoritarian rulers assumed that they would assure their control of politics and domestic public spheres by forcing opposition movements out of the country. Yet, by enlarging a diaspora of co-nationals, the authoritarian rulers emboldened opposition forces beyond their national borders. This title provides the first comprehensive analysis of diasporic experiences and the impact of returnees on the public life, culture, institutions, and development of post-authoritarian politics in the Southern Cone of the Americas.
